Supercuts, Look Out!

I took my youngest son to get a haircut today at the local Chinese barber. Now, I could have gone to the salon in the housing complex's clubhouse, but one adult and child haircut would have cost me 250RMB, or about $30. Instead we ventured outside where our haircuts cost a combined 50RMB, or about $6. Six United States Dollars. And the locals think of that as a ripoff. Most of them get a hair washing, hair cut and head and shoulder massage for the 30 kuai I paid for my haircut. But I didn't have to go downtown and I may be cheap, but I'm not THAT cheap to complain about $3.75 haircut.
